Destination: ‘Chalk Hill, McLaren Vale’
For three generations, the Harvey family have been growing grapevines in
McLaren Vale from vineyards first planted in 1897. The grapes in Chalk Hill
wines are primarily sourced from six family-owned vineyards in the McLaren
Vale district, 40 kilometres south of Adelaide in South Australia. Each
vineyard has a different soil type and topography, providing unique growing
environments for the grapes. Jock oversees the viticultural management of
Chalk Hill’s vineyards and French born winemaker Emmanuelle Requin-Bekkers who
is their winemaker.
Chalk Hill will be taking part in a group tasting followed by dinner featuring small production McLaren Vale winemakers hosted by Doug Goven at The Victory Hotel, Sellicks Beach.
